If Julian Edelman plays next year, you can probably guess where he’ll end up [UPDATE: HE RETIRED]
Update (5:48 p.m. Eastern): So, like, I saw this going differently in my head. Which is fine, it’s fine.

With anti-Asian violence on the rise in America, Hideki Matsuyama displayed class and dignity while making golf history
Looking through the list of Masters winners, there are a lot of American Flags.

The NHL trade deadline, and the Maple Leafs in particular, continue to be really weird
There’s nothing like the NHL trade deadline to warp what you thought you knew about teams’ priorities and how players are valued. GMs alternate between desperation to chase the Cup and desperation to get anything for players who can’t wait to high-tail it out of town at the season’s end. The process...

Jose Mourinho has broken Tottenham, possibly for good
It’s not a surprise that Jose Mourinho’s tenure at Tottenham Hotspur has gone completely balls up. Anyone who watched the end of his stays at Chelsea (The Sequel) and Manchester United could have told you how this would go.

Low-level English soccer club (no, not Newcastle this time) goes to the dogs

The griping of one Black small biz owner is not a legit beef against MLB All-Star Game move
There may be a good-faith argument to be had about the efficacy of MLB moving the All-Star Game out of Georgia. While moving the Super Bowl helped press Arizona to recognize Martin Luther King Day as a holiday, and the NBA’s retraction of its All-Star Game from Charlotte played a role in getting par...
Marcus Smart passing Larry Bird on all-time Celts’ 3-pointer list is a wake-up call
It’s not a revelation that the NBA today is heavier on three-pointers than it’s ever been. Teams are taking more threes per game than ever before — 34.7 per game, per team, and with good reason: at 36.7 percent, this season’s success rate is the highest of all time....

Ranking the WNBA’s latest round of refreshingly cool jerseys
The WNBA’s new uniforms are great, if for no other reason than because team names have been restored to a place of prominence after several years of sponsors clogging jersey fronts and relegating team identity to a shoulder patch.
